Some guy just wanted to trade a yam for a sharp stick and now I have to sell my feet pics to pay taxes.

It turns out the nut we wanted to crack was the Higgs boson.

We are on a path to progressively crack both smaller and bigger nuts.

I was wondering if it was Atlas

But I think it'd another of the LHC experiments

After thousands of generations, we now know the best rocks to smash together to make cool science stuff.

Funny since it's hazelnut season and I got a bag of them yesterday.
I will be cracking nuts today

Why does the second image at the bottom right look like a reactor ?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

Because you've apparently never seen what a reactor or a particle collider look like?

It looks a lot like it could be either LHCb or CMS (or maybe Atlas?), some of the 4 main experiments of the CERN LHC

hollywood -- it looks like one to me too.
